Starter (antipasto) is an unmissable dish in Italy when you have to celebrate or plan a get-together with friends and relatives at home or are at the restaurant. Few people give it up. Generally eating at the restaurant, my husband and I order it followed by a first course or a second course. Menu cards are always so tempting for appetizers ... there are a lot of differences from north to south of Italy. A great variety of proposals according to the season too.
